Personal Checkbook Advantage works just like a checkbook register. It was developed as an alternative to other freeware that just didn't quite cut it. Also, many people do not write checks any more and the checkbook register has become cumbersome having to handwrite all transactions. This application is user-friendly and designed to quickly add transactions into your register. It also helps you balance your register with your bank statement. No more adding up what hasn't been cleared. The Register Screen shows you the "uncleared bank balance". As a plus, the application keeps track of spending habits by setting categories to each transaction.
